AN UNREASONABLE BOOK

This moralistic and incoherent book uses computer science and
technology as an illustration to support the view promoted by Lewis
Mumford, Theodore Roszak, and Jacques Ellul, that science has led to
an immoral view of man and the world.
I am frightened by its arguments that certain research should not be
done if it is based on or might result in an ``obscene'' picture of the
world and man. Worse yet, the book's notion of ``obscenity'' is vague
enough to admit arbitrary interpretations by activist bureaucrats.
